Effects of rhDNase on purulent airway secretions in chronic bronchitis

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Recombinant human deoxyribonuclease (rhDNase) has been demonstrated to reduce in vitro the viscosity and to improve the transport capacity of purulent respiratory mucus in cystic fibrosis. During episodes of exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, the patients generally expectorate purulent mucus. Purulence of mucus is associated with an increased deoxyriboneucleic acid (DNA) concentration.We analyzed in vitro the potential effect of rhDNase on chronic bronchitis mucus transport by the ciliary activity (… Show more

“…Dornase alfa acts by cleaving extracellular DNA released by degenerating leukocytes, [7][8][9][10] and was recently also applied in the management of other acute and chronic lung conditions, such as bronchiectasis, 11,12 atelectasis, [13][14][15] Kartagener's syndrome, 16 asthma, 17 and chronic bronchitis. 18 To date, only a few groups have published reports about the successful use of dornase alfa in the treatment of mechanically ventilated children. 14,19,20 However, none of these studies was a randomized controlled trial.…”

“…O DNA aumenta a viscosidade e a aderência das secreções pulmonares 25 . A utilização da DNase recombinante humana é efetiva para a reabertura das vias aéreas de pacientes com FC 26 . Nas infecções complicadas por atelectasia, as secreções brônquicas e plugs de muco apresentam alta concentração de DNA, de maneira que a DNase pode ser um tratamento efetivo nestas situações.…”
